So now Bloomberg wants to be president. What is it about the insatiable power-hunger of plutocrats?
What’s he going to run on?
Rising poverty and homelessness rates in NYC under his tenure?
Closing St. Vincent’s?
Big tax abatements to his developer friends?
Allowing foreign businesses looking to spin-and-rinse money via condo purchases that make housing costs for actual NYC residents prohibitive?
One thing he CAN run on, however, is allowing the New York City Opera to fold, because that dovetails with the anti-culture zeitgeist that the right wing has been hard at work on for more than three decades.
